Best Drugstore Moisturizer


Wow I haven't done one of these in ages. A great entry considering it's now emerging into the winter season, a time of tinsel, gingerbread and dry, flaky skin.


Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti Wrinkle Cream

As a recipient of Allure's Best of Beauty, this product needs to be on every girls shelf!
A white, lightweight cream that absorbs well into the skin, without leaving it feeling greasy. This is a great moisturizer for nighttime and it's oil-free so it doesn't clog your pores. This scent free cream comes in a metal tube (to preserve the retinol). While I don't use this cream for it's anti-wrinkle effects, many woman have reported minimized lines and improved texture after only weeks!


Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

Ahhh what a classic! Even though we often purchase bigger and better products than this, we always seem to head back to this jay with the blue lid. Why? Because Vaseline is unscented, unflavored, hypoallergenic and extremely moisturizing! Having an allergic reaction to this product is almost unheard of which makes it a great universal moisturizer. It's versatile and it's many uses include: makeup remover, lip balm, clear mascara, removing rings, etc. Apply a thin of Vaseline where moisture is needed and marvel how rockin' smooth the skin feels!


Olay Regenerist Night Cream



My mom goes through these jars like candy! This scented lavender cream hydrates and leaves the skin feeling smooth and healthy. This night cream gives a slight "lifting effect"to the skin, leaving it firmer and more youthful. That being said, it is more of a night cream than a miracle wrinkle remedy, so don't expect more than a subtle improvement to lines.


Nivea Aqua Sensation

A lightweight and refreshing gel/cream with invigorating scent to lift up your day. This moisturizer has a gentle cooling effect and makes skin feel super smooth and soft. Aqua Sensation comes in a heavy glass jar with a lid. A great summer moisturizer, perhaps too light for the winter season.


Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer

This is a gentle moisturizer, perfect for those with sensitive or acne prone skin. Positively Radiant leaves the skin feeling soft and also works to clear the complexion. This makes a great day cream and contains SPF 15 and subtle shimmer to glow in the sunlight (:


Have you tried these moisturizers before?

Best Drugstore Lipgloss

Best Drugstore Lipgloss

Some people are so picky about their lipglosses though. They want them super pigmented, sheer, sticky, smooth, with glitter, without shimmer, with fragrance, non scented, in a tube or in a jar! = =
Here, I'll try and cover a large variety of different lip glossies.




Milani Crystal Gloss



A good dupe for M.A.C. LipGlass, these contain just a hint of shimmer and smells lightly of vanilla! They have great pigmentation and last for a couple hours. Crystal Gloss goes on shiny but doesn't feel as sticky as LipGlass. It comes in a small tube, perfect for slipping into a pocket or a purse!


NYX Lipgloss with Mega Shine



Great pigmentation with good texture. These lipglosses are never sticky and in fact, seem to moisturize! High shine, nice shimmer with a 'Juicy Fruit' candy smell :D (some may not like the scent). NYX Lipgloss wears off after about an hour and isn't one of the longest lasting glossies out there.



Revlon Super Lustrous



Super Lustrous goes on lips smoothly but has a thick formula, is non-sticky and lasts for around 4 hours! Contains finely milled shimmer and has SPF 15! They have a good selection of colours, all of which look very natural and wearable. Super Lustrous contains a sweet scent and comes in a glass tube that looks very classy :D



E.L.F. Super Glossy Lip Shine



Great quality for the price and the gloss goes on super smooth. They're nicely pigmented, come in a wide array of colours and come in small little tubes; good for just tossing inside your purse.
Super Glossy comes with SPF 15 with only a hint of shimmer. Has a yummy grape smell ^^ As with every other E.L.F. product, these are sold for only a dollar!



L'Oreal Colour Juice



This lipgloss tube has a rounded applicator instead of the slanted tip that most lipglosses have. It goes on smooth and glossy and the colours are well pigmented. Contains a bit of shimmer and a sweet, candy scent. Some may say that Colour Juice is a good dupe for Lancome's Juicy Tubes!



Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment



A thick but not too sticky gloss that lasts a long time. Moisturizes well and makes your lips look glossy. Diamond Lip Treatment comes in a variety of colours (with shimmer) that flatter the wearer's lips and give a beautiful shine. Comes in a long, sexy tube with a tiny brush applicator and smells slightly of coconut.


Chapstick Lip Moisturizer



'Why is there a lip balm in the lipgloss section?'
Well, sometimes a natural colour on your lips is better sometimes. This chapstick is incredibly moisturizing, makes lips really soft and has an SPF of 15! The vanilla scent that comes with it smells nice as well. Also, it can be layered under lipstick or used as a base to make lip gloss last longer. Stock up and keep them everywhere!
